Comedian Lavell Crawford is NOT the most enlightened person when it comes to LGBTQ equality. In an interview with VLAD TV, Crawford went off on the subject,

“No matter how much they’re getting accepted, it’s still fucking weird… Now they’re trying to get their own bathrooms and shit [even though] it’s still not the norm.

I don’t got nothing against gay people because strange enough, my father’s gay.“

Crawford said his father ‘ran off’ and wasn’t in his life for more than 20 years.

“When he came back into out lives, we found out he was gay. I didn’t know how to react at first. And then I didn’t know if it was hereditary and I was gonna have a gay switch go on.“

His father, who had gotten married to a man, died a few years ago.

“I didn’t know whether to him stepmom or mom/dad. I said, “Which one is the man?” I didn’t know.“

But Crawford claims he doesn’t do mean gay jokes for fear of backlash from the “gay mafia.”

“You see what they did to Tracy Morgan… gay people shut down shit man.“

He goes on to say that you shouldn’t be able to be gay until you are 25. Parents should teach their kids,

“to be men and women before we try and put a moniker of gay and lesbian and shit. Okay, you’re gay – 25 I think you can be gay. If you decide you want to be gay at 25, that’s fine. But try pussy for the first years – try pussy out. Young lady, try a dick out. You’re gonna find a good dick out there.“

Just consider the source, because it is laughable. And even to a homophobe, these attitudes are a joke.
